What instrument(s) do you play?

What day(s) are best for you to meet?

None, but I'll do my best....

On a scale from 1 - 10, rate your skill playing jazz on your primary instrument

What's a 10? Chick? Jaco? Joe Pass... if so, I'm a 4. If a 10 is professional competency, then;
Keyboard-7 (not a great sight reader)
Electric Bass-8 (as long as it's not odd rhythm)
Composing-9
Guitar- 7 (as long as I don't have to "shred")

Do you have a favorite jazz tune? Do tell!

Come on! That's like picking a favorite child.

Do you have a favorite jazz artist? Who?

I do love Herbie Hancock because he's so versatile and competent in both traditional and contemporary styles.

Introduction

Hi, I've been a professional composer and musician for 30 years, what good fortune to be able to make a living and support a family doing something I love so much....if someone is really interested, check out my web site www.RadMusic.net

Come join other jazz musicians to play standards and learn from each other in a fully collaborative environment. With this group I aim to expand our knowledge and craftmanship of the great art form we call Jazz.

If you like to listen to jazz, you are also welcome to watch the jam sessions, even if you don't play an instrument.

Gigging opportunities have opened up for players in the meetup group as well.

The mainstay of the group are the regular Jam sessions which are held once a month. Educational sessions are also held so people get a chance to improve their craft in a non-pressured atmosphere.

Players of any level are welcome to participate. And if you're not ready, sit and watch first and chat and meet a friendly bunch of musicians.

Cost of a typical meetup is $10.

The NEW regular location will be at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church in Westchester, CA.
